Standard Deviation

Read each slide carefully before continuing through the lesson

Definition

Which set of data has data points that are closer to the mean?

Multiple Choice

List each set of data by color from the lowest standard deviation to the highest standard deviation.

blue, green, pink, red

red, pink, green, blue

pink, green, red, blue

blue, green, red, pink

Multiple Choice

Look at each data set's standard deviation.

Set 1: 15.9

Set 2: 14.64

Set 3: 17.88

Which set of data has values that are closer in relation to the mean value of the data?

Set 1

Characteristics of the Normal Curve

MEAN = MEDIAN = Mode: The mean and the median are the same
- located in the center of the curve. 50% of the data is above or below

Comparing Measures of Center

●

In a symmetric distribution, the mean and the median are
approximately the same.

●

In a right skewed distribution the mean tends to be greater than the
median.

●

In a left skewed distribution the mean tends to be less than the
median.

Positively Skewed

Also known as Skewed to the RIGHT.

This is when the data has a "Tail" on the right side of the graph.

Negatively Skewed

Also known as Skewed to the LEFT.

This is when the graph has a "Tail" to the left.

Multiple Choice

1. Which of the following illustrations represents normal distribution?

Drag and Drop

This distribution is

so we should use the

as a measure of center.

Drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above

right skewed

median

fairly symmetric

left skewed

mean

standard deviation

range

mode

Multiple Choice

What shape is a normal distribution curve?

Half curve

Round curve

Bell curve

Square curve

Drag and Drop

This distribution is

so we should use the

as a measure of center and the

as a measure of variability.

Drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above

median

IQR

right skewed

Multiple Choice

Which is NOT true about the normal distribution curve?

It is bell-shaped.

The mean, median, and mode are approximately equal

The smaller the standard deviation, the less spread in the curve.

It is asymmetrical.
